Thanks a lot, solved the problem, no idea what caused it but it's nice to have it working again.

Neither =P

I agree with the hour thing, that's been our results so far.

George 4: I will create a new topic for 2010 once the Brazil and Australian deadlines are complete.

JMCDONALD: Error 3155 has been reported and the programmer is investigating. I don't think it is tied to the items you mentioned, but you should send us a full description along with your FCA_DATA.accdb file to be sure it's the same cause as the other reported instances of 3155.

Julia: There are no plans now to change C1 through C4. Did you have a specific suggestion or just wondering?

sam_99: 1) Describes whether during the solder the wire is using the pin to stabilize it's position. 2) You will need a chassis control module with dashboard functionality. 3) Housings, LED's, etc are listed. The PCB etc, are included if necessary as chassis control modules. Iozo's response is correct.

Iozo: Thanks for your clarification.

Kirby: Connectors are cost per connector half. It doesn't matter whether you consider a connector as one connector or two since the cost is per pin. Say 4 wires go into a male connector and 4 wires come out of a female connector. Is that two 4 wire connectors or 1 8 wire connector? I think it will be more clear if you have two 4 wire connectors. And include the labor to put them together. Your example looks right.

Cazz226: The sections are a known bug that the programmer is working to fix. That is why we added the materials (per kg), as a temporary work around. I don't know what is causing the 3155 error but the programmer is working on it. Could you send me more details about both errors, 3155 and 2431 so I can make sure I give them to the programmer? Email katklauz@aol.com.

@Bill Riley:
I was just wondering.

Just another update, the 3155 error returns after every sync, and the program doesn't sync properly despite going through the whole process and saying it syncs.
Error 2431 is not restricted to purely raw materials either, I think it might be related to quantity and size.

We're now in the process of manually re-entering the cost report into one computer. Sucks, but we're not going to risk it.

Hi Bill,

I have noticed that some items in the materials and fasteners tables (tblMaterial.xls, tblFasteners.xls) on fsaeonline.com are missing from the cost application. Notable items (relevant ones in this case) are the Autronic SM4 in the materials table, and "Hook and Loop, Hook Side (Velcro)" + the corresponding Loop side from the fasteners table.

Please advise on what we should do with items which have not been successfully synchronised with the software or are not reflected in the tables within the Cost Report Application. (including recent AIRs)

Thank you.

I was going to post about the velcro, but I figured it was just my machine and I was going to double check with someone else on our team.

I can confirm: it does not appear in my fasteners list in the application.

hi

i have been having the same problems as Cazz226
with the 3155 error when syncing and 2431 when adding a raw material.

i have also been through the troubleshooting guide and have tried clearing the sync and error logs as Kirby suggested.

I have had the same issues as you Brownie and Cazz.
What have you done to get around it? Has anyone experienced troubles with the totals? Im pretty certain they dont seem to be adding correctly

It would be nice to know if we are going to be able to sync before cost report is due.

Bill?

AdamRR - i hae been ignoring the problem and just not syncing my data to the database. it is not an ideal situation, but i cant just sit and wait for them to fix the problem as the due date keeps getting closer. i have also experienced problems with total, especially when you change the quantity of a bearing or a hinge and the price remains the same as a single unit.

the most recent data that i have input has been disappearing. i have put in an assembly and all its parts, then clicked the pencil to add another assembly, and the one just inputted disappears. then when you try to input it again the database tells you that you have conflicting assemblies and will not let you do anything other than exit the program.

anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Brownie - I have been ignoring the errors too.

But it seems the system totals in the reports just dont seem to add up and more expensive than expected.

Have you checked in the reports to see if the information is there?

AdamRR - not sure whatis going on there, you might need to send an email to katklauz@aol.com

i had a look at the report and the information is not there.

thanks for your help though

Everyone,

We have upgraded the server side to try to fix the problems underlying the 3155 errors many of you were reporting. I have just tried it with my test database and was able to sync. Please give it a try and report any success or failures here so I can see how we're doing. No new download is required.

Regards,

Bill Riley

unfortunately no success here.

it actually started syncing, unlike before where it would come up with the 3155 error almost instantaneously.

the run query bar gets to about 1/3 of the way across before the application stops responding.

Brownie,

Please email your fca_data.accdb and fcakey file to katklauz@aol.com and I will try to diagnose and advise. The 3155 error being fixed is good news. The other I need to look into.

Any other Australian teams with problems you can also send your datafile and key file to Kathleen and I will take a look.

Thanks,

Bill

I was able to sync with no problems

I had my first successful sync ever!

The application stopped responding I just left it alone for probably 45 minutes and it came back to life and completed successfully.

I cant seem to find circuit breakers in the cost report?

Bill

I have just tried to test print our cost report from the program, it produces some pages but all of the fields are blank and there is no information on them at all. I synced it and tried again but to no avail. Any ideas or suggestions?

Daniel

Are many teams having any success with this software?
I have been at it for a few months now and seem to be getting nowhere.
